"The Logical Song"
A couple of my favorites:

You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows. (Dylan--but I like almost all of his lyrics!)

I know it's only rock 'n roll, but I like it. (Rolling Stones)
This one's almost too good to post just a little. But, in the name of actually having my post *read*, I'm going to post a little of it.

Quote:
The Hell Of It by Paul Williams
From the "Phantom of the Paradise" soundtrack

"Though your music lingers on
All of us are glad you're gone

"If I could live my life half as worthlessly as you
I'm convinced that I'd wind up burning too."
"Nothing worth having comes without some kind of fight. You've got to kick at the darkness till ot bleeds day light."

Lovers in a Dangerous Time

"Pinocchio's now a boy who wants to turn back into a toy"
-Rufus Wainwright-Vibrate

"Now I've heard there was a secret chord that David played, and it pleased the Lord, but you don't really care for music, do you?

"You say I took the name in vain. I don't even know the name, but if I did, well really, what's it to you?"
-Leonard Cohen-Hallelujah

"No it will not be me
Rufus the Baptist I be
No I won't be the one
Baptized in c�m"
-Rufus Wainwright-Gay Messiah
Tool:

"One great big festering neon distraction."

-Aenima
"When everything feels like the movies, yea you'd bleed just to know you're alive" - Goo Goo Dolls "Iris"

"Like in your eyes, I see my future in an instant/And in your eyes, I see the missing pieces I'm searching for" - Savage Garden "I knew I loved you before I met you".

"You walk past me, I can feel your pain" - Josh Groban "You're Still You"

"how you suffered for your sanity/This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you" - Vincent (Starry Starry Night)

"There's a moment when fear And dreams must collide" - Cirque De Soleil "Let Me Fall"
OMG, this thread has gone this far without anything from Dylan? Here goes:

"I wish for just one moment, you could stand inside my shoes, you'd see what a drag it is to see you"

"You'd better start swimming or you'll sink like a stone. For the times they are a changin"

"On the rising curve, where the ways of nature will test every nerve, you wont get anything you don�t deserve"

"Don't follow leaders, watch the parking meters"

and my personal favorite:

"Ah, but I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now."
"Be sure that what you dream of, won't come to haunt you out"-Bush-Headful of Ghosts

"Who wouldn't be the one you love? WHo wouldn't stand inside your love."-The Smashing Pumpkins-Stand Inside Your Love

"so perish every fond ambition
god and trouble are all i've known
yet how rich is my condition
god and heaven are all my own
god and heaven are all my own

rooms full of salt
fault my pluck
and a poets charm so far, ever far
little stars that burn the holes in my soul

and everything just feels like rain
the road we're on, the things we crave
and everything just feels like rain
the nights i sleep, what's left to dream
when everything feels like rain

drift as i dive
find the deep
out of reach of all light
stars, ever far
listless tides along the changing shore

and everything just feels like rain
the road we're on, the things we crave
and everything just feels like rain
if i should sleep, what's left to dream
"'Zwan-Mary Star of the Sea

Great song, the the BNL certianly did a fabulous cover, but if the point is to quote lyrics, you should attribute the man who wrote them and orginally performed the song, Bruce Cockburn. It is available on iTMS if you want to hear it.

Oh, wait, was this thread about GREAT lines or really cheesy bad lines?
Time to lower the tone with an amusing little ditty celebrating manhood...

Artiste: Raunchous Brothers
Song: Women's Lib

Wake up ***** it's time to face reality,
As far as I'm concerned you've got no ******* personality

Housework and sex is your only job,
You're not a worthwhile human being, you're just a fraud

You'll never be my equal so quit your nagging and your bitching,
Get on your knees and suck my **** then get back to the kitchen

Artiste: McLusky
Song: Lightsabre ****sucking Blues

I'm fearful I'm fearful I'm fearful of flying
And flying is fearful of me

A nice little ditty about the Internet...

Artiste: The Sisters of Mercy
Song: Detonation Boulevard

through the angel rain
through the dust and the gasolene
through the cruelty of strangers
to the neon dream
long distance information
just tell me where the manholes steam
a little girl waits on my station
with a new machine
- on Detonation Boulevard

I got wrecked out here
in a eldorado
I got wired, white-walled
this hot-wired sedan
I caught something weird in Ensenada
I've a brother of sorts in Torquemada
long distance information
disconnect me if you can
- on Detonation Boulevard

pink noise, white noise
and a violet whining sound
it burns inside this car
no cops, no signs, no left, no right
no stops, no turning round
well, you can run but you can't ride
you won't get far
- on Detonation Boulevard
- bang bang

through the angel rain
through the rust and the gasolene
through the cruelty of strangers
to the neon dream
long distance information
I'll take the same
I got the fuel for the transformation
I'm a naked flame
- on Detonation Boulevard
- bang bang

Oops, my apologies. That's a good line too.
"You know you're semi good looking"

- Van Halen, Ain't Talking 'bout love
And I know something good is going to happen.

Kate Bush - Cloudbusting
1. "I'm not dumb but I can't understand
how she walks like a woman
and talks like a man,
Oh my Lola"
- The Kinks, "Lola"

2. "You never thought you'd get addicted -- just be cooler in an obvious way.
Well, I could say:
Shouldn't you have got a couple peircings and decided maybe that you were gay?
In a way,
I can't help but feel responsible, I always knew that you were insane,
with your pain.
But I never thought you'd be a junkie because heroin is so passe."
- The Dandy Warhols, "Not If You Were The Last Junkie On Earth"
